to check the files.
Flash start playback
When the Flash Start Key Method item is set to Flash
Start
, touching a flash start key causes the corresponding take
or file to start playback instantly.
Standby playback
When the Flash Start Key Method item is set to Standby,
if you press a flash start key when stopped, the take or file that
corresponds to that key is put in playback standby and that key
blinks yellow. Following this, pressing the PLAY key will cause
playback to start and the key to become green. During playback,
touching another flash start key will cause the corresponding
take or file to become lined up for playback, and that key will
become yellow. When a take or entry is lined up for playback,
pressing the PLAY key will cause that take to start playing. To
cancel standby, touch the key for the lined up take (yellow key)
again.
